Well that was an outright guess!
Next one is a map again, from the 1930s. None of the Crescent still exists, a lot of change especially since the 70s.
Mid Kent, near water and two railway lines. South of M20

I'm away most of this week so my replies might be delayed. I'll look in as much as possible.
Further clue: Top of a hill. That should do it.

Thanks Diapason
The picture rang a bell when I saw it so as you say, probably from the old forum. I lived in Minster for a number of years and Laundry Road was where we used to watch the Manston Air Shows from (Free of charge and no traffic jams).
Next one ... Which church is this font to be found in ?

Yes the old Minster Laundry where my Grandfather was the engineer in the very early 1900s.
shoot999 - I think I used this pic. on the former KHF
As it is today, possibly the same`van` on the Ramsgate sands.

I have a feeling that this was the original laundry at the top of Laundry Hill in Minster, Ramsgate?

Is it a laundry business with all that washing outside?

It was sheer luck, Granderog.
As soon as I saw the photo, the only thing that came to mind was the old footbridge but I certainly wasn`t certain and was extremely surprised that my guess was correct
Next offering - this building no longer exists but another business is on the same site. This framed photo was shown to me when I visited a few years ago as I had a family connection.

Well Diapason for "not having a clue" You are spot on. It certaimly is the centre section of the old footbridge now long gone.
Here it is being dismantled and craned away for scrap.
Your Turn.
